What Is the PDF Editor & Annotator?
This tool lets you annotate any PDF right in your browser — add draggable text boxes, draw freehand with a pen, highlight sections, and place images or a signature anywhere on the page.
Unlike our dedicated Sign PDF and Add Watermark tools, this is a general-purpose annotation canvas: mix and match text, drawings, highlights, and images on the same page, then reposition or delete anything before exporting.
Everything is flattened directly into the PDF using pdf-lib, entirely in your browser — your file and everything you add to it never leave your device.
